18 years old didn’t really brush teeth first 15-16 years

[Annoymous1298]

I barely brushed my teeth the first 16 years I barely brushed them maybe once in a week or less and intill 2 years ago o started brushing daily but I just don’t know if it’s still worth brushing, even after brushing i lost a tooth half a year ago a back one, is there still any point of brushing my teeth still and I haven’t been to a dentist since I was little I just feel my teeth are in a bad shape




I also don’t know what to do about my missing tooth In the bottom right it’s 4th from centre on bottom right

Hi Annonymous1298,

well done on starting to brush daily. It looks like there are a lot of teeth still in your mouth and those still need to be kept clean and healthy. That's when brushing daily comes in place
May I ask you what happened to the lost tooth? You mentioned you haven't been to the dentist since you were little. Did the tooth fall out on it's own?

All the best wishes

I was 17 at the time it was small and had a tiny bit of black on it, i just worry about my teeth and wonder if it's even worth brushing them

i feel a weird taste in my bottom left of my mouth too but i dont know what that could be

Yes, it is worth brushing them. The best combination would be to brush every day and to see a dentist for a check-up about twice a year. They can then tell you whether everything is ok and might help you to alleviate your worries. How does that sound?
